I know I should stop but I just can’t seem to tear myself away. I watch in stunned amazement and swear I won’t go back but then….Keeping The Home has some doozies up this week. Including instructions on how to get a Great Bible.

Does your KJV Bible have the uncorrupted KJV text?

Even if your KJV does prove to be a corrupted edition, it’s still WAY better than other Bible versions out there, so keep reading it. The corrupted KJV Bibles are still pretty good. A quick (and very abbreviated) test to check your KJV text is as follows:

1. Is the ’s’ in the word “Spirit” capitalized in Genesis 1:2 and Matthew 4:1?

2. Does it correctly say “Saviour” in Luke 2:11, or the incorrect “Savior?” Anyone can be a Savior, but there is only one SAVIOUR, and that is Christ Jesus.

There are many more things you could check, but if your Bible fails the above two, then you already know you have a corrupted edition. However, I’ve noticed that many KJV texts are fine, except for in Matthew 4:1. For example - that is how the Dake is. I just take my trusty pen, and capitalized the ’s’ in the word “Spirit” in Matthew 4:1, if that is the only corruption found.

All I can say is WHEW!! The Douay-Rheims is a GREAT BIBLE. It passes the Luke 2 test even though it flunked the capitalized ‘Spirit’ in Genesis and Matthew but I have it on good authority that all I have to do is whip out my pencil and capitalize them myself.

Yes I know she was talking about starting with the KJV to begin with but still….
